College Basketball Power Rankings: Top 25 Teams for Week 8

There weren’t many teams that played more than one game during the holiday week, so there wasn’t a lot of movement this week. Call it the calm before the conference storm. Every team b...

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Thursday Slate (1/1/26)

Remember when you were a kid and the only thing that was on television on New Year's Day was bowl games? Where have those days gone? Our New Year's Day only has three games this year, but they are all College Football Playoff quarterfinal games. Does that make up for fewer games? Not really, but […]

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for 12/31/25 to 1/2/2026

We are down to eight regular bowl games and seven CFP games remaining in the college football season. We'll cover all of the remaining regular bowls in this piece, and the quarterfinals of the CFP. It's going to be a wild three days! The last three CFP games will also be picked against the spread. […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/31/25)

The last day of the year gives us another great DFS day. We are approaching the bowls, where there appear to be fewer opt-outs, but we still need to keep an eye on that. The first CFP quarterfinal is on this slate as well, giving us a rematch of the 2002 National Championship game. That […]


Ezekiel Elliott - Best CFP Performances, 2014 Sugar Bowl, Ohio State

Top 25 College Football Playoff Player Performances of All Time

Okay, so "all time" is a bit of an oxymoron since the College Football Playoff has only been around since 2014. We are only on the second year of a 12-team playoff, so we don't have a ton of games to choose from. That said, there have been some elite players who shone brightest on […]


Joey Aguilar - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Draft

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for 12/27 to 12/30/2025

We ran into a rash of opt-outs in the second week, and even saw a few that we thought would opt out decide to play. We may have to navigate that slippery slope again. Bowl season really picks up this week! We have a dozen games taking place from Saturday to Tuesday. We'll have one […]


Haynes King - College Football Rankings, CFB DFS Picks, NFL Draft

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Slate (12/27/25)

DFS has been even more of a slippery slope this year, with it becoming even more trendy to quit before "meaningless" bowl games. Where else can you win a trophy full of piping hot baked beans or soak your coach with iced coffee? Those are just two of the things that you don't see every […]

College Basketball Daily Fantasy Picks Tonight - Best Lineups and Sleepers for DraftKings (12/20/25)

Three college football playoff games can't possibly keep us occupied all day. Not when we're used to watching around two dozen per day. We can fill the void with college hoops! DraftKings has split up the 20 major games across three slates. We'll give the rundown on all three. We've got some big names and […]


Trinidad Chambliss - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Draft

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Slate (12/20/25)

There are only three games on our college football Saturday, but every one of them is a big game. We're not worried about opt-outs here. All three games are college football playoff games. For all of the things the committees have done wrong, and the ruination of the regular season as a whole, the expanded […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Friday Slate (12/19/25)

It has been a couple of weeks, but we're back with more Friday college football DFS! The College Football Playoff starts tonight with one of the two rematches taking place. We also have two other bowls going on. One with a lot of opt-outs. One with two teams who just want to play. You have […]

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for 12/19 to 12/26/2025

The first week of the bowls went fairly well. We expected opt-outs for Washington and didn't get them. We didn't expect opt-outs for Jacksonville State and got them. No one ever said that this was an exact science, especially in this era. We'll take a look at all of the picks against the spread for […]

College Basketball Daily Fantasy Picks Tonight - Best Lineups and Sleepers for DraftKings (12/16/25)

Tonight, we have one big slate that even includes the early game. It may only be because Duke is involved, but we'll take it.

College Basketball Daily Fantasy Picks Tonight - Best Lineups and Sleepers for DraftKings (12/13/25)

With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! Bowl season starts today, but there are only three games. We have tons of college basketball on!

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for 12/13 to 12/18

The bowls are now spread out so much that we have two bowl games on the day of the Army-Navy game. Oh well, more football is always better! We'll take a look at the betting picks for Army-Navy and for the first week of the bowl games. The picks for the CFP bowls and the […]


Louisville Receiver Chris Bell has a Torn ACL

Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell (knee) missed the Kentucky game due to an undisclosed injury. That injury is confirmed to be an ACL tear that he suffered against SMU on November 22. Bell was flying up draft lists in his senior season with the Cardinals. Bell finished with 72 receptions for 917 yards and six […]

College Football Playoff Bracket Projections: Final Predictions for the 12-Team Field on Selection Sunday

This year was further proof that we don't need more than four teams in a playoff. It's simple. Indiana, Georgia, Ohio State, and Texas Tech. Done. NY6 bowls still matter. Unfortunately, we can't have nice things anymore because money ruined them. This wasn't armageddon for the CFP committee, but there are still some decisions that […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Main Slate (12/6/25)

"Championship Saturday" isn't quite the same, with only nine conferences and four of those having games on Friday night. That's okay. It spreads out the DFS a little bit and creates two good slates instead of one. It also makes it a little harder to set your lineups apart. That's what I'm here for. We […]


Penn State Eyeing Iowa State Coach Matt Campbell For Coaching Vacancy

Penn State fired coach James Franklin on October 12 after a third straight loss. The school is still looking for a new coach. While places like LSU, Florida, and Auburn have all found their next coaches, the Nittany Lions have struck out. Penn State was also in communication with Indiana's Curt Cignetti, Nebraska's Matt Rhule, […]
